New Zealand's best-selling cookbook author and hugely popular celebrity home cook, Chelsea Winter, has just announced a very special live show at Baycourt Theatre on December 8, presented by local company, BespOak Kitchens.

Chelsea will be joined on stage by renowned broadcaster, Mike Puru, as they provide Chelsea's fans with unique insights into her life and career, seasonal menus, Christmas recipes and an array of wide-ranging topics.

The event will be an interactive evening where the audience will get to play a big part.

During the night, Chelsea will be demonstrating handy tips and tricks in the kitchen, which will be queries that ticket holders can submit prior to the show.

There will also be the chance for fans to ask Chelsea their own questions during the audience Q&A segment.

Chelsea has amassed a huge following in New Zealand after winning the 2012 series of MasterChef.

She has written 5 cookbooks, of which her title Eat was the country's biggest selling book for 2017.

She can't wait to present her live show to her fans, especially kicking things off in Tauranga where she now resides.
